After a long-awaited absence, Michael French is back in EastEnders as his iconic character, David Wicks. It's been over 10 years since we last saw him on Albert Square, and fans are eager to see what's in store for him. In his last appearance, David had fled Walford after suffering a heart attack during the breakdown of his relationship with Carol Jackson. Now, he's making his return to London next week and discovers that a lot has changed in the decade he's been away.
His arrival coincides with concerns for his daughter Bianca Jackson's mental health, who recently made her own comeback to the area. Meanwhile, his former lover Cindy Beale is taken aback by his sudden return and tries to avoid him. But her ex-husband George Knight encourages her to face her past and confront David.
Actress Michelle Collins, who plays Cindy, explains that her character is completely thrown off by David's return. It's been over 20 years since they last saw each other, and Cindy is still reeling from their affair in the 90s. But David is in for a shock as well when he learns that Cindy is alive and well, despite believing she had died in prison in 1998.
As David grapples with this unexpected turn of events, his presence also rattles Ian Beale, Cindy's current partner. Ian is insecure about their past and comes up with a plan to make amends with Cindy's daughter Anna Knight, who had an affair with his son Bobby Beale's best friend. But what is Ian really up to?
Meanwhile, Bianca fills her father in on her suspicions that Reiss Colwell is responsible for her sister Debbie's death, which led to her sister Sonia Fowler being wrongfully imprisoned. As father and daughter delve into this dark mystery, they have some deep conversations that may reveal the truth.
According to Patsy Palmer, who plays Bianca, these scenes will showcase a whole new dynamic for David and Bianca's relationship. She is excited to see how a woman in her 40s and a man in his 60s navigate their situation. While David has a different life now, Bianca is still stuck in the same place. Patsy hopes that David can swoop in and bring some luck into her life.
